Deuteronomy 28-29
Well, we can’t say God didn’t make it clear. Follow Him and there will be blessings; reject Him and there
will be hell to pay. Eating one’s
own children is as close to hell on earth as you can get.
Every one of us has to decide what we believe. I’m not talking about going to church or being good. What do you believe about God? It’s the greatest question posed to all
humans. Listen to the last verse
of these two chapters. “The secret
things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to
our sons forever that we may observe all the words of the law forever.” 29:29
There is exact truth. There’s
an exact number of leaves on the trees in my yard, not one more and not one
less. There’s an exact number of
drops of water in the oceans, not one more nor one less. There are billions upon billions of
exact truths that will always remain secret to me and to all of us. Jesus affirmed this when He said that God
knew the number of hairs on each of our heads. We will never know why hunger, devastation and hurt exist
and why it exists in such random and painful ways. These things always exist, and the cause and reason remain a
secret to us.
But here’s what I do know!!! The sun is wonderful. I love my sense of
hearing, especially when my grandchildren sing. I love that tomatoes know how to grow sweet in the summer
and that warm water feels so good in the winter. There are billions upon billions of good truth “revealed” to
me and each convinces me that Someone loves me. We can’t fathom all truth, but one truth we can is
LOVE. God is love and that’s the
good news.
